The car accelerates westward and when it leaves the flatcar it is traveling at 23.0 m/s relative to the ground. (a) What is the speed of the railcar when the car leaves? (b) What is the distance between the car and the west end of the flatcar, when the car touches the ground?
The fisherman's mass is 70 kg, and the rowboat's is 119 kg. The fisherman and rowboat are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally to the right with a speed of vi = 4.7 m/s. What is the velocity of the rowboat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.)

The mass of a particular skateboard plus its rider is m, = 76.6 kg, and the skateboarder is holding a book with mass mo = 3.27 kg. Initially atrest, the skateboarder tosses the textbook with a velocity of vb = 4.44 m/s at an angle 0 = 23.3° above the horizontal, and the book is caught by a friend.
An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get back to her shuttle by throwing one of three objects she possesses in the opposite direction of the shuttle. The masses of the objects are 5.4 kg, 7.9 kg, and 10.1 kg, respectively. She is able to throw the first object with a speed of 15.00 m/s, the second with a speed of 14.2 m/s, and the third with a speed of 7.0 m/s. If the mass of the astronaut and her remaining gear is 75.0 kg, determine the final speed of the astronaut with respect to the shuttle if she were to throw each object successively, starting with the least massive and ending with the most massive. Assume that the speeds described are those measured in the rest frame of the astronaut.

If a rocket engine ejects gases at a rate of 29 kg/s, how fast must the gaseous exhaust be moving if the thrust produced is sufficient to allow a 2.7 x 105 kg rocket to rise slowly from the earth when aimed straight up? Express your answer in km/s.
I would appreciate some hwlp with this question. Thanks! A model rocket consisting of a 61.0-g chassis and a 30.5-g engine is taken on an interstellar mission and fired in outer space. The engine produces 5.00 N of thrust while expending 13.0 g of fuel at a constant rate during a 2.04-s burn. (Assume the mass of the engine includes the mass of the fuel.) (a) What is the average exhaust speed of this rocket's engine? (b) If the rocket starts from rest, what is its final velocity? (Assume the thrust to be in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.300 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 5.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite.
